The key functional feature of any motorcycle garment is the protection it offers; protection against impact, protection against abrasion, and protec-tion against the elements. REV’IT!’s aim is to provide the perfect balance of protection and comfort in all its products.

ENGINEERED SKIN®

The principles of Engineered skin® represent our commitment to safety, quality, and design and they can be found in nearly every item REV’IT! makes. The name Engineered skin® itself embodies our overarching design philosophy of developing ergonomic safety products that complement the anatomic structure of the human body.

The Engineered skin® design philosophy is also evident in all of our safety equipment. Safety equipment should both actively protect the body against impact and passively contribute to safety by remaining unobtrusive, and, whenever possible, unnoticeable. REV’IT! armor is lightweight, ventilated and ergonomically designed to remain as unobtrusive as possible against the body while fitting perfectly inside REV’IT! gear.

REV’IT! SEESMART™With outer shell technologies increasingly enabling us to create stylish yet abrasion resistant riding gear, internal protectors have been the one aspect that is constant across all motorcycling segments. The SEESMART™ concept changes everything. Specifically developed for use in urban motorcycle gear, SEESMART™ offers the highest level of flexibility while passing the EN1621-1:2012 CE-Level 1 impact tests, also in hot (T+) conditions.

REV’IT! SEEFLEX™REV’IT! SEEFLEX™ is the latest innovation in motorcycle protection. With features such as extra flexible and protected hinge points and optimal ventilation at key areas, there is finally an armor that lives up to the highest CE-Level 2 impact protection without compromising on freedom of movement. The 3D, ergonomic pre-shaping allows SEEFLEX™ protectors to form perfectly to the body, making it the benchmark when it comes to combining maximum protection with maximum comfort.

The entire new family of SEEFLEX™ protectors is awarded with the RED DOT design award “Best of the best”. This prestigious award is extra special considering the fact that protectors need to cope with strict gover-nmental limitations. It shows that we don’t take our core values –Design, Performance, and Innovation- lightly; even when a product will mainly be hidden in garments.

The family of SEEFLEX™ protectors offers something new to the world of motorcycling: Exceeding the highest level (EN1621-1:2012 CE Level 2) of protection and comfort under all circumstances and -more importantly- in all temperatures, as is tested in the official CE T- and T+ temperature tests.

REV’IT! SEESOFT™REV’IT! engineered the SEESOFT™ back protector insert with the aim to create a low profile, flexible and breathable protector with the highest, CE-Level 2 certification. The result is a non-distracting, pliable back protector that can absorb multiple impacts without compromising on comfort, ventilation or freedom of movement.

PROTECTION

DEALER WORKBOOK 001

CE-LEVEL 2 PERFORMANCE

CE-Level 2 performance on all limbs, all seasons. The ultimate motorcycle protectors must provide the highest level of protection, no matter what the circumstances are.

COMFORT IN ALL CLIMATES

The SEEFLEX2925 material remains virtually unchanged in its appearance, regardless of the temperature it is in. Besides maintaining its protective features, this also adds to the comfort the protectors bring. They uphold their pleasant feel, not stiffening in cold weather or becoming too soft in hot weather.

3D PRE-SHAPED FIT

The SEEFLEX™ protectors are shaped according to our Engineered skin® philosophy. This means it actively protects the body against impact and it contributes to the rider’s passive safety by offering protection that the rider won’t notice when on a bike. Thanks to the 3D pre-shaped fit SEEFLEX™ protectors fit perfectly in REV’IT! gear and therefore they fit perfectly to the body. Having 3D pre-shaped protectors also prevent them from moving around, keeping them in position in case of an impact.

TEMPERATURE INSENSITIVE PERFORMANCE

SEEFLEX™ protectors meet the CE-Level 2 standard at T+ and T-, meaning protectors are tested and approved between +40°C and -10°C. No matter the temperature or riding conditions you find yourself in, be in a black jacket on a hot summer day or commuting in winter weather, SEEFLEX™ protectors are delivering the highest level of impact protection.

INTERNAL EXPANSION STRUCTURE

The open SEEFLEX™ structure allows the SEEFLEX2925 material to expand in on itself under impact, dissipating impact energy out away from the protector surface and away from the body, resulting in exceptional impact defense.

TEAR & BREAK RESISTANT

The SEEFLEX2925 material in SEEFLEX™ protectors is extremely strong, making the open structured SEEFLEX™ protectors extraordinarily tear and break resistant.

PROTECTIVE FLEXHINGE AREA

Freedom of movement on the bike contributes greatly to the feeling of comfort when riding. SEEFLEX™ limb protectors are therefore fitted with the revolutionary protective hinge area. This feature makes the protector extra flexible at the hinge area while conserving its protective surface, covering every limb joint.

HIGHLY VENTILATED

SEEFLEX™ protectors are designed to have an open structure, which optimizes both ventilation and breathability while at the same time diminishing weight. The protectors in motorcycle gear cover a substantial part of the body. Whereas the closed structure of most other protectors reduces the breathability and ventilation at these points vastly, the open structure of SEEFLEX™ protectors enables full breathability at these crucial areas, while maintaining the highest level of impact protection.

EXCEEDING PROTECTIVE AREAS

Within the EN1621-1:2012 standard there are two test areas: Type A and Type B. SEEFLEX™ protectors can be approved for both areas, depending on the intended usage. This allows for the use of smaller protectors (in ladies garments for example) while maintaining CE-Level 2 protection.

ADAPTIVE ERGONOMICS

The flexibility of the SEEFLEX2925 material offers adaptive ergonomics to all SEEFLEX™ protectors. This feature ensures a perfect, personalized fit which contributes to both comfort and protection.

SEESMART™ is the latest innovation in motorcycle protection from our in-house Research and Development team. The thin, extremely flexible yet impact-ready CE-rated protector is ideal for use in items that integrate into daily life.

THE SEESMART™ CONCEPTWith outer shell technologies increasingly enabling us to create stylish yet abrasion resistant riding gear, internal protectors have been the one limiting aspect that is constant across all motorcycling segments. The SEESMART™ concept changes everything. Specifically developed for use in urban motor-cycle gear, SEESMART™ offers the highest level of flexibility while passing the EN1621-1:2012 CE-Level 1 impact tests, also in hot (T+) conditions. This development brings us another step closer to our goal of providing the ultimate motorcycle gear in every segment.

HOW IT WORKS: EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL EXPANSIONIMPACT ABSORPTION: MATERIAL

SEESMART™ is constructed of SEEFLEX2925, the same material as the family of SEEFLEX™ protectors. It offers the same unique molecular structure, allowing the material to transform kinetic energy from an impact into thermal energy. SEEFLEX2925 is a truly unique material which carries excellent impact absorption properties.

Visible studs in the SEESMART™ protector are hexagon-shaped and connected by narrow connection bands. This construction enables the protectors to be extremely flexible and remain relatively thin; exactly what a protector designed for clothes that integrate into daily life need to keep from looking like motorcycle gear. The hexagon shaped studs expand externally under impact, allowing them to absorb energy. This combination of external expansion and the use of SEEFLEX2925 material reduces impact energy, giving the protector its impact absorbing properties.

PPE: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

In recent years, there has been much discussion between motorcycle garment manufacturers and the European Community concerning the protection standards for motorcycle apparel, which falls under the govern-mental category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

The European Community rightly claims that when buying a PPE-garment the consumer must be able to rely on a minimum level of protection provided by the garment for its intended use. This level of protection must be either clearly indicated or implied by the design of the product and that any information provided with the products (often on hangtags) is accurate and complete.

Initially, these rules were described as the minimum standard for motorcycle garments intended for professional use, but as of 2010, the scope has been extended to motorcycle intended for leisure use. Standards for profes-sional use have been deemed impractical for leisure use by essentially all manufacturers. Currently, there are no manufacturers complying with the European Union’s requirements throughout an entire product range. Note that the CE standards for separate impact and back protectors are a different issue and do not apply to this topic.

In the coming years, European manufacturers will jointly develop a new set of standards for motorcycle garments in cooperation with the European Union. This will likely lead to the development of a new standard for professional use and a separate new standard for leisure use, to which all manufacturers will be required to comply. This is work in progress and we will keep all our partners updated.

NEW STANDARDS

In anticipation of the coming new standards, we have been gradually making modifications and improvements to our products. As a first step, all EVA foam insert back panels have been removed from all jackets as of spring 2014. Although EVA foam inserts at the back and hips are not CE rated impact protection as clearly indicated on each product, we have chosen to remove these inserts from our products to prevent any confusion that these EVA foam panels are CE-level certified. Indications on all jackets, suits and trousers with pockets designed to fit CE-rated SEESOFT™ insert protector upgrades will remain.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & CE-CERTIFICATION EXPLAINED

EN 1621-2:2014: BACK PROTECTORS

Back protectors must undergo an energy transmission test to determine shock absorption levels to meet EN1621-2:2014 specifications. The test, called a Drop Test, is performed with a 5kg (11lbs) percussion pin dropped from one meter to create the test impact energy of 50 Joules. During the test the protector is placed on a metal anvil. This test is conducted five times on various points of a predetermined Zone of Protection on the product.

Products must pass tests conducted under two conditions: at ambient temperature and at high humidity. Products may also undergo optional temperature tests: a low temperature impact test conducted at -10°C (14°F) and/or a high temperature impact test at +40°C (104°F).

The EN1621-2:2014 standard includes two levels of protection:

CE-LEVEL 1: CE-Level 1 rated products provide the standard level of effective protection. The peak force measured at the center of the Zone of Protection shall not exceed a single strike value of 24 Kilo Newtons (kN) and the overall mean value shall not exceed 18kN.

CE-LEVEL 2: CE-Level 2 offers increased performance for riders who feel that their riding style exposes them to an increased level of risk. CE-Level 2 protectors must absorb twice as much energy from an impact as CE-Level 1 protectors, with the peak force at the center of the Zone of Protection not exceeding a single strike value of 12kN and the overall mean not exceeding 9kN.

CE-DOCUMENTATION

CE-certification also requires technical documentation containing information demonstrating that the product properly complies with the CE-requirements which apply to it. This documentation must be assessed by a notified body as part of the CE-test. All relevant information regarding REV’IT! products with a CE-certification can be found inside the product packaging and on the Commerce Portal under the tab marked ‘Sales Tools’. Dealers can also obtain documentation via our sales team.

DROP TEST VISUALISATION CROSS SECTION CROSS SECTION - IMPACT

THE ‘DROP TEST’ EN1621-1: 2012Limb protection standard

ENERGY TRANSMISSION TEST (CE-CERTIFICATION TEST)

In all tests the protector is placed on an anvil and hit with a drop striker weighing 5kg (11 lbs) and falling from a height of approximately one meter (the kinetic impact energy should be at least 50J). The lower the value of the energy transmission measured, the better the shock absorption of the protector. The ‘Ambient impact test’ is conducted three times: one in each test area of a predetermined ‘Zone of Protection’ on the protector. This test is repeated on three different protector samples, so a total of nine impacts is conducted. The ‘Wet impact test’ is performed in the same way as the ‘Ambient impact test’. However these impact tests are performed on two different protector samples, so a total of six impacts is conducted.

The objective of the energy transmission test is to determine shock absorption based on the specificati-ons defined by EN 1621-1:2012. To calculate the energy transmission, the protector is tested according to two mandatory impact tests:

AMBIENT IMPACT TESTConditioning of the protector: 48±0,5 hrs in an atmosphere of 23±2 celsius and a relative humidity of 50±5 %. The ‘Ambient impact test’ is performed within three min. after removal from conditioning.

WET IMPACT TESTConditioning of the protector: 72±0,5 hrs in a closed chamber above water maintained at a temperature of 70±2°C. After this the protectors are placed for another 24±0,5 hrs. in a tightly closed water vapour proof bag in ambient temperature of 23±2°C. The ‘Wet impact test’ is performed within five min. after removal from conditioning. Besides the mandatory Ambient and Wet impact tests, EN1621-1:2012 describes two optional tests:

HIGH TEMPERATURE IMPACT TEST (manufacturer claims protection up to +40°C)LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT TEST (manufacturer claims protection up to -10°C).

VARIOUS LEVELS OF PROTECTIONWhen you purchase motorcycle gear, you expect it to meet certain demands. The same goes for the protectors inside the garment: they need to live up to their name and protect you. But just how well do they protect? To answer that question, a CE marking is applied.

WHAT TO LOOK FORAs shown in the graphic, a CE-marking begins with the indication that it is made for motorcycle riders (01). The intended limb or limbs (elbow, knee, shoulder or leg) can be found in the marking as well (02). Additional temperature tests for +40°C and -10°C are noted in 03 and 04. Finally, 05 describes the level of protection. 2 denotes CE-level 2, the highest level of protection.

TYPE A AND TYPE B AREA Within the [EN1621-1:2012] standard there are two test areas; the smaller Type A and the bigger Type B area. SEEFLEX™ protectors can be approved for both areas, depending on the intended usage. This makes it possible to use a smaller protector for, for instance, ladies garments, while maintaining the CE-Level 2 protection. This allows us to maintain the optimal balance between protection and comfort for each type of garment.

EN1621-1:2012 describes two different ‘TYPE’ of protection with each their own ‘Zones of Protection’:

TYPE A: limb protection that is referred to be of smaller dimension; these are commonly (although not exclusively) optimised for use with smaller riders.

TYPE B: limb protection protection that is referred to be of larger dimension; these are commonly (although not exclusively) optimised for use with larger riders. Furthermore EN1621-1:2012 describes two levels of protection:

CE-LEVEL 1: The minimum level required so that the protector provides useful protection in an accident and suits all riding styles. The peak force measured in the center part of the zone of protection (test area 01) shall not exceed a single strike value of 35 kN. The single strikes in areas 02 and 03 shall not exceed a value of 50 Kn. The overall mean value shall not exceed 35 kN.

CE-LEVEL 2: Riders feel that their riding style exposes them to an increased risk; CE-level 2 offers increased performance. The peak force measured in the center part of the zone of protection (test area 01) shall not exceed a single strike value of 20 kN. The single strikes in areas 02 and 03 shall not exceed a value of 30 Kn. The overall mean value shall not exceed 20 kN.

SEESOFT™ BACK PROTECTION

SEESOFT™ CE-LEVEL 2 BACK PROTECTOR INSERT

Thanks to the new SEESOFT™ multi-impact insert back protector, you can upgrade every REV’IT! jacket with a CE-level 2 back protector, which means that it performs within the CE-Level 2 range of < 9kN energy transmission. The fully flexible SEESOFT™ back protector insert follows the contours of the wearer’s spine for optimum protection and is fully ventilated for added comfort.

The SEESOFT™ CE-level 2 back protector insert is designed to absorb multiple impacts without compromising on comfort, ventilation or freedom of movement. Most REV’IT! jackets are designed to accommodate a SEESOFT™ CE-level 2 back protector. Each jacket will specify which type and size of SEESOFT™ back protector is suitable. By applying a multiple-layer concept, REV’IT! has developed a flexible back protector insert that performs consistently in all conditions.

The highly impact-resistant blend of Nitrile and Polynorbornene rubber results in a memory foam that is multi-impact rated and CE-certified to the highest level (EN 1621-2:2014 - CE-Level 2). In the case of severe angular impact, the individual Memory foam layers will shift relative to one another, resulting in impact dispersion over a larger effective surface area, and therefore minimizing the energy that is transmitted to the spine and back.

HOW TO INSERT A SEESOFT™ BACK PROTECTOR INTO A REV’IT! GARMENT (EXAMPLE)

01. Check the marking on the garment’s protector pocket to determine the correct type and size of SEESOFT™ protector needed.

02. Carefully fold the protector in order to fit it into its corresponding pocket. Attention: make sure the back protector is oriented with its widest sheet of foam placed closest to the wearer’s body.

03. Insert the (slightly folded) protector into the open Velcro closure of the back protector pocket. The protector should fill out the entire pocket.

04. Make sure to securely close the pocket with the Velcro after inserting the SEESOFT™ protector.
